Gayle Yates reopens Designers Ltd.

I like to think of Gayle Yates as the Yoda of hair dressers. Not because she’s a little green guy, but because she has vast knowledge when it comes to cutting hair.
To stick with this ‘Star Wars’ metaphor, Gayle has taken a young Jedi under her wing and reopened Designers Ltd., with the services of hair styling veteran Roxanne Patterson. Roxanne has been cutting hair ‘ with a license that is ‘ for 15 years, but she started way before that.
‘I started cutting my mom’s hair when I was 12,’ said Roxanne. ‘My daughter tells me I could probably do this in my sleep. One of the things I specialize in is flat tops. A lot of salons don’t want to touch them but it’s something I like to do.’
The new Designers Ltd. is open inside Gayle’s other business named Body ReDeZine, which is located around the back of Plaza Shopping Center across from King’s Den. Body ReDeZine has become a successful weight loss and health center that’s approaching its first year of operation.
By combining a beauty shop with a health center, Gayle offers a sort of one-stop shopping.
‘We’ll make you look good on the outside and feel good on the inside,’ said Gayle while making one of her nutritious shakes.
Body ReDeZine is also offering a weight loss challenge that will begin April 21 at 6:30 p.m. If you’re interested in participating, call 507-5673. Roxanne can be reached at 473-3074.
